It's tough to tell the intent. It does make fun of the expectation that white consumers have forcing rich black writers to essentially do caricatures of poor black people. It's possible that the writer of the movie intended to mean it's debasing to have to do these caricatures because the writers are above it all, but making every black writer in the show clearly come from affluent backgrounds can't really have been a coincidence. So I think a part of the commentary may well be that poor black voices are left unheard under the current structure.

It's very funny, but I guess it's a little bit superficial. Like just screaming its message at you the entire time.

The left punching wasn't really major, but at the same time I was like well okay not surprising Obama liked this and it was written by a guy whose dad was a rich lawyer and worked for one of the 1000 shitty daily show spinoffs.

American Fiction was very good, although some lines/scenes felt a bit like left punching from a rich liberal mad at "Bernie bros" on twitter.

Why would anyone be offended at the idea of not doing work. Free as in freedom and freedom means I'm not doing shit.

It's so funny that steamboat willie mickey mouse is quite literally a legally distinct ripoff of an earlier character design that Walt Disney did when under contract somewhere else. Something beautiful about constantly rewriting copyright law to extend protections of a character that was used to circumvent copyright law to begin with.
